Loved this show as a kid! I think Still got the Action Figures to these somewhere hahaha and the theme stays in my gym playlist cause that singer sang with his Whole chest you couldnt not get hype listening to him haha the crossover with street sharks was an event to me and my friends as a kid xD
I was selling a couple Extreme Dinosaurs figures at a convention once. Only two people in attendance even knew what it was, and one of them only knew because he was in the cartoon. He subsequently bought the toys I had on hand.
@aaronlaluzerne6639 Not Scott, though I've met him a fair few times. No, it was Sam Vincent, voice of Stegz, and quite a bit more throughout the years.
That theme still goes hard. "Something's really rocking on planet number 3. Modern man's got prehistoric company. A Colossal fossil feud unlike anything before, between those reckless raptors and the Extreme Dinosaurs!!!"
4:28 “land before time” had over a dozen sequels which is yet another example of the timelessness of dinosaurs. And let’s not forget that jurassic world 4 will come out later this year.
@@BATCHARRO Man, I loved T-Rex. Unfornutely, it aired at 230pm in my area and my mother saw no need to have a VCR. Which meant I only got to watch it if school was out or that brief glorious week where I had five classes instead of six and could go home early. Unfortunately for my animation junkie heart, I also turned out to be very, very good at history class and the school wanted me in Advanced History. I wasn't interested, but they said it was good for me, so Mom kowtowed and I was back to a six period schedule again. I'm still low-key mad about it.
@Owl_Space Cartoon blocks where I grew up in where always a solid mix of "Last Years Most Popular Show now that they're done dubbing it" and "Some weirdo shit from Australia about Basketball Kangaroos that you're not gonna EVER hear about after this" and I think T-Rex fell into the latter category. I do remember noticing they lifted a plot directly from TMNT once. Something about mothballs or something. I did like it though.
I only remember this franchise for two things- 1 Had a crossover with Street Shark. 2 My mum said it will be the "last" toy I buy off from her. I was begging my mum to get me the Stego figure cos he look cool (wasn't into the show all that much). Needless to say Stego wasn't the last toy my mum got me!
While it doesn't have the same grab as TMNT, or even Street Sharks for me, I still enjoyed Extreme Dinosaurs. Though it is funny that it spun off of Street Sharks but also is different from what they were there.
"Something really rocking... On planet number 3, modern man's got prehistoric company." That theme song had me and my cousin singing it every weekday mornings before school when it came on UPN😂
So we're just not gonna mention that the theme song for this show was an absolute Banger!? In all seriousness, my little brother was the perfect age for this show when it came out so we'd watch it together a lot. I couldn't tell you much of anything that happened in the show, but I remember he loved it.
I LOVED this show, and got one of the toys for Christmas as a kid. Lost it a few weeks later, still bitter over 25 years later. 9:08 I had that Mighty Ducks action figure! Lost the discs, but it was still perfectly built for punching things.
Being from Maine it's kinda wild seeing our local Sam's Italian Foods chain featured in a toy video. I guess that's what happens when the video is made in New Hampshire.
For some reason, this show was extremely (😏) popular in Europe. Literally every channel aired these. The Germans (Super RTL), the Hungarians (RTL Klub), heck even the Slovaks (Markíza). In 1999/2000 this cartoon was everywhere.
Really? That's interesting to know, I was into Street Sharks but can't remember seeing anything of this in my corner of Europe (Sweden). Maybe it sold better in central / west Europe?
Holy shit. EXTREME DINOSAURS was totally one of those shows that felt like a fever dream to 10 year old me. But also, oh my god, those toys looks amazing. I honestly can't say that I ever saw them on toy shelves.
One weird thing I noticed during the intro about the Extreme Dinosaurs - from the transformation of 'normal dinosaurs' to the mutated humanoid dinosaurs they end up as in the show, there seems to be no change in size. And yet they were supposed to start as normal dinosaurs and end up as human-sized humanoid dinosaurs, but there was no apparent size change when the mad scientist worked on them. Seems like a big error in that part of the first episode of the cartoon.
@@d.w.saurus5831 I guess we're just supposed to accept that it was a cartoon and leave it at that... instead of acknowledging that the makers of the cartoon either 'Failed To Do The Research,' or 'Didn't Care Enough To Bother." Honestly not sure which would've been worse. Incidental problem - failing to think through details like that on something that's allegedly an educational kid's cartoon? Just drives home that the people in charge of Extreme Dinosaurs were only thinking about that precious toy money.
I remember the Extreme Dinosaurs the Spin off of Street Sharks back in the 90s, I enjoyed watching the Series back then and still be able to watched the episodes on RUclips. But I am very happy to get the whole Series at last on SDBD Blu-ray thanks to Discotek Media and I do hope they'll released my favourite past cartoon/anime series like Biker Mice From Mars, Blazing Dragons, Wild West Cowboys of Moo Mesa, Creepy Crawlers, Mucha Lucha, Mary Kate and Ashley in Action, Spider Riders, Yo Kai Watch and Cardcaptors (Nelvana) because they deserved to be released at last.
My brother and I both got one of these toys each when we were very young. I got a brown T-Rex and he got a purple one, I think a Pterodactyl. I love the random action figures of my childhood, I'm glad I still have most of them.
I LOVED the show as a little kid. Me and some of my neighbors even had some of the action figures. Might have been a commercial failure, but it was a massive success for kids like me. One of those "if you know, you know" things for sure.
I was 13 in 1997, so a little too old for this show, but what always gets me is that I loved almost every one of these shows I found, probably even at that age. But watching the show isn't the same as buying the toys, so I guess I understand why so many of them where "failures."
Ah yes , in a world full of violence , since pre-histotic times , some modern time Karens at home think that removing violence from Cartoons will make any difference .
I remember the toys more than the show. It didn’t help that it’s time slot came on right when I was leaving for school so the few times I could see it was on holidays or breaks.
Always pissed me off that Spittor didn't get an action figure. I had Haxx and Badrap. NEVER could find Hardrock. They also made a prototype of Ridge the Dilophosaurus that teamed up with the Dinosaurs for a mini-story arc.
You forgot to mention that the street sharks Introduction for the extreme dinosaurs, and the TV series extreme dinosaurs swapped its voice actors around for the characters, and both had different introductions to the characters as well.
Thank you for mentioning the Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters! They're really not given then respect that they're due. They may be obscure, but I've always liked them.
As a kid who watched a lot of Dinosaur themed cartoons, sadly Extreme Dinosaurs wasn't one of them. Which is a real bummer because this looks like something I would have LOVED as a kid!
In the early 1990's it was easy for anyone with half a brain to know if something was goings to suck or was past its golden age... because the marketing teams either labeled it or relabeled it with "EXTREME!!!"
I remember extreme ghostbusters! Could you do an episode on it? My favourite was Garrett mainly because he was in a wheelchair but still could do things that the regular ghostbusters could do. Shame he never got a toy though.
I marked out like crazy when Discotek announced a dvd release of this show 2 years ago. It doesnt come close to the best cartoons of the 90s, but it was fun for what it was. Perfect show to watch at 2 in the afternoon before Fox Kids would start.
I loved extreme dinosaurs ! You could do a video on Jurassic park toys or How about one of these videos on small soldiers and jingle all the way as they’re both toy related films!
I missed out on Street Sharks, I was aware of them but by 1994 I was getting into more “grownup” media and wasn’t really checking out new cartoons. By ‘96-‘97 I was starting high school so Extreme Dinosaurs wasn’t on my radar until this video popped up in my feed today.
Time to buy up some Extreme Dinosaurs before that Secret Galaxy bump sends those prices up 😉. Awesome video. I hope like the Street Sharks getting a modern update that maybe Extreme Dinosaurs are soon to follow.
I was huge into Street Sharks, and remember the crossover with the new Extreme Dinosaurs, but yeah, it felt like the latter didn't last very long. Perhaps all things Extreme is very 90s, but the fascination with dinosaurs is eternal, lol.
I would have loved this show if I knew it existed. I only knew of the toys from seeing commercials but I never saw them in stores and in the pre-internet era, if you couldn't buy it from a store: you just didn't have it.
In contrast to the states,the show was really successfull in Germany, it ran on Super rtl and was one of the hit shows at that time, Street Sharks was relatively unknown at that time because it aired REALLY early (4 or 5 in the morning) on an tv channel (TELE5) that was not widely available on cable.
I have to admit I used to watch this show back when it came on as I did a lot of the other TMNT clones (Biker Mice from Mars, Street Sharks,etc) and enjoyed it. Not sure how it would hold up now but I'm curious to find out

@TheNewSam Cool.
If I had been there I would have recognized the figures. I always loved this show!
Would have bought them to
That theme still goes hard.
"Something's really rocking on planet number 3.

I didn't even realize there was already a Jurassic World 3
There were so many Land Before Time movies they actually got to Time.
I'm 38 and can still sing this theme song from memory. One of my favorites.
Extreme Dinosaurs should never been canceled in the first place. 😀👍
Don’t forget about “Dinosaucers” and “ Stunt Dawgs”!
And T-Rex. The Prohibition era superhero dinosaur show that's hard to google!
@@BATCHARRO Man, I loved T-Rex. Unfornutely, it aired at 230pm in my area and my mother saw no need to have a VCR.

I'm still low-key mad about it.
Stunt Dawgs was one of those shows that just was in a category of its own for how much it operated on the Rule of Absurdity,
@Owl_Space Cartoon blocks where I grew up in where always a solid mix of "Last Years Most Popular Show now that they're done dubbing it" and "Some weirdo shit from Australia about Basketball Kangaroos that you're not gonna EVER hear about after this" and I think T-Rex fell into the latter category. I do remember noticing they lifted a plot directly from TMNT once. Something about mothballs or something. I did like it though.
Also the Flintstones movie and live-action Super Mario Bros movie featured dinosaurs, you really couldn't escape it, and kid me loved it, lol.
I had no idea about the show until I was a teen, but I had a few of the figs and loved them so much
I only remember this franchise for two things-
1 Had a crossover with Street Shark.
2 My mum said it will be the "last" toy I buy off from her. I was begging my mum to get me the Stego figure cos he look cool (wasn't into the show all that much). Needless to say Stego wasn't the last toy my mum got me!
I knew that they did a crossover with the Street Shark
Dan becomes Jonathan Frakes from Beyond Belief just a little bit each day
I love the Extreme Dinosaurs! I don't remember watching them when I was younger, but I have watched them in recent years.
While it doesn't have the same grab as TMNT, or even Street Sharks for me, I still enjoyed Extreme Dinosaurs. Though it is funny that it spun off of Street Sharks but also is different from what they were there.
I was not ready for Vin Diesel to yell “ hand shark” 🤣🤣
Dude I thought you were trolling or something, I was not ready for that. I think I'm scarred for life. 😂
@@notgingercarnage4515 You guys gotta look up that entire video. It's adorable.
😂
"Something really rocking... On planet number 3, modern man's got prehistoric company."
That theme song had me and my cousin singing it every weekday mornings before school when it came on UPN😂
Ah, the 90s. When everyone was still chasing the Ninja Turtles gravy train even when it was running dry.
Thanks for a great kickoff to 2025!

I can at least appreciate that the dinosaurs know about Hanukkah.
Ever since the Pee-Wee Herman Christmas special!
@@Cole205 not funny, and extremely anti-semitic.

This will always be one of my absolute favorite cartoons ever. My and my cousin used to watch this all the time together

Several years before the Blu-ray release in the US I was able to import the complete series on DVD from Germany.
Really? That's interesting to know, I was into Street Sharks but can't remember seeing anything of this in my corner of Europe (Sweden). Maybe it sold better in central / west Europe?
Prices for the sealed toys sky rocketed these last few years so I’d say this show wins in the end
It was a great show! I had all the toys! 🦖
Happy new year secret galaxy!

Dinosaurs are timeless. My three year old walks around on his tippie toes and sticks out two fingers roaring like a T. rex all the time.
@@Sayacalbees87 dinosaurs are the dragons of the real world
Another random fact about this show is that Scott McNeil was the voice actor of the Trex guy.

"Extinction stinks" is a brilliant line.
My brother and I both got one of these toys each when we were very young. I got a brown T-Rex and he got a purple one, I think a Pterodactyl. I love the random action figures of my childhood, I'm glad I still have most of them.
I loved Extreme Dinosaurs when I was a kid. It started playing when I started learning english and it helped me a lot learn the language.
This cartoon was actually good
Didn't they do a cross over with Street Sharks ?
Yes, and they had their own show later on
Congratulations Mr Dan you did it! You found an animated series my dad has never heard of 🎉! Now I have to search for that dvd set
I always get Street Sharks and Tigersharks confused in my mind XD
I LOVED the show as a little kid. Me and some of my neighbors even had some of the action figures. Might have been a commercial failure, but it was a massive success for kids like me. One of those "if you know, you know" things for sure.

Yeah, I remember the toy commercial, but didn't know there was a show.
Have An Extremely Awesome New Year's.

Loved this as a kid, i had the first few episodes on video and would repeatedly watch them
I loved this show as a kid. I rewatched it recently and it's still pretty fun and unhinged in parts.
The theme song was awesome. That alone got me hyped up for the school day. And the episodes weren't too bad.
Actually, I remember really liking this show.
I was a huge Extreme Dinosaurs fan. Had that and General Savage GI Joe on VHS and wore the tapes out
Ah yes , in a world full of violence , since pre-histotic times , some modern time Karens at home think that removing violence from Cartoons will make any difference .
Happy New Year! New year, new member (although I've been watching your content for years now).
I remember the toys more than the show. It didn’t help that it’s time slot came on right when I was leaving for school so the few times I could see it was on holidays or breaks.
I’ve always been a dinosaur kid back in the 90s. This was definitely my show back in the day.
I just realized there is really a "Dinosaur Mania" in the 90s. 😂 I even remember watching it 4 30 PM in my home country. 😂
Always pissed me off that Spittor didn't get an action figure. I had Haxx and Badrap. NEVER could find Hardrock. They also made a prototype of Ridge the Dilophosaurus that teamed up with the Dinosaurs for a mini-story arc.
I so appreciate the humour on this channel. It would be so hard to explain to someone who didn’t grow up with all these ip’s
So proud you’re from my home state of NH! Keep the awesome videos coming ♥️
You forgot to mention that the street sharks Introduction for the extreme dinosaurs, and the TV series extreme dinosaurs swapped its voice actors around for the characters, and both had different introductions to the characters as well.

Which is a real bummer because this looks like something I would have LOVED as a kid!
To this day, the only toy I have from this line is the ‘war paint’ version of T-Bone.
Thank goodness for Discotek!
Can't say I recall this property... but those toys look unhinged in the best way!
I started watching it online when I was 11 or 12. Got hooked.

I had a VHS of the series and it's theme song will never leave my head
I had the Bullseye figure as a kid. It was one of my favorite toys.
I’ve had the theme song to Extreme Dinosaurs stuck in my head since the 90s. I still have my VHS we recorded of the show. Lol

Love the series my son and I love dinos got my extreme dinosaurs with my sharks good video.
Ive had one of these toys since I was little but never knew what it was from until recently. Cool to get a video on in now
one of the best toylines ever
Which is a shame because I actually liked Extreme Dinosaurs more than Street Sharks
I remember having a few figures from this toyline and 2 of the VHS tapes
Extreme Dinosaur 🦖 I remember having some of these recorded on VHS
i had these toys as a kid and always assumed they were a spinoff of street sharks but never knew there was a tv series and direct tie in
I had a T-bone figure but had never seen the show, and indeed did enjoy the play style regardless.
now I want the other 3 main Dinos!
Also I loved this show as a kid wish I still had the toys they're expensive now
I liked the show, I preferred it over street sharks. I had the toy of bullseye
I missed out on Street Sharks, I was aware of them but by 1994 I was getting into more “grownup” media and wasn’t really checking out new cartoons. By ‘96-‘97 I was starting high school so Extreme Dinosaurs wasn’t on my radar until this video popped up in my feed today.
That was a nice nostalgia trip
Dan sounds like he has a cold in this one, thanks for powering through!

Time to buy up some Extreme Dinosaurs before that Secret Galaxy bump sends those prices up 😉. Awesome video. I hope like the Street Sharks getting a modern update that maybe Extreme Dinosaurs are soon to follow.
5:13 I remember that video game, it was really challenging!
Why were Bad Rap and Haxx the only Raptors in the toyline. By the way, as a kid I only had the figures from the 1st wave.
I was huge into Street Sharks, and remember the crossover with the new Extreme Dinosaurs, but yeah, it felt like the latter didn't last very long.

Finally I see this thing again, had one of the triceratops toys and lost in a bush or something. Never knew what to call it.
I totally had that tbone figure. Loved him.

Happy New Year! 😂😊🎉❤
I started collecting these right after Steer Sharks, didn't have either as a kid.
Never had the chance to watch it, just Street Sharks and the chapters they were in.
I have to admit I used to watch this show back when it came on as I did a lot of the other TMNT clones (Biker Mice from Mars, Street Sharks,etc) and enjoyed it. Not sure how it would hold up now but I'm curious to find out
I still have the toys from this show!! I have the metallic t-Rex and the raptor with headgear
Street Sharks! That's my jam! 😂
Me getting pumped up right now because that theme song kicks MAJOR ASS!!!
I judge the quality of a cartoon by which releases the coolest toys: Biker Mice From Mars and Street Sharks are hard to beat
